You say a laptop with a external monitor, keyboard, and mouse is just a desktop? Hell no! When was the last time you could take your "desktop" out by the pool or on vacation as a carry on? A fast laptop can do 90% of what a PC can do unless you are a gamer and even then they make $4k laptops that can do that too.

Since the smartphones and tablets came along I use my laptop 80% less as a mobile device but I'd still never leave home without a laptop if I was going away for the weekend or a real vacation.
